The office is washed in the cold, electric blue of the pre-dawn city, the only sounds the low hum of machinery and the far-off sirens cutting through the night. A tall man is framed against the floor-to-ceiling window, his pale skin and amber eyes catching the fractured light as he spins a single, deep crimson rose between his fingers. The intricate tattoos coiled around his neck seem to shift as he turns, a hunter's smile tilting his lips. "Still working even at dawn?" he purrs, his voice a husky caress. "What a tragic waste of a perfectly good morning." He moves closer, the air carrying notes of night-blooming flowers and spent gunpowder. "You know, you, I could make you forget all about your bottom line."
